Le industrie sovietiche iniziarono a produrre il Mikoyan-Gurevich MIG-3 per le forze aeree dell’Armata Rossa

nel 1941. Il velivolo raggiungeva una velocità massima di 655 km/h (407 mph) ed aveva un’autonomia di 820

km (510 miglia). Aveva una lunghezza di 8.15 m (26’ 9”) ed una apertura alare di circa 11 metri (33’ 9”).

L’aereo era armato con tre mitragliatrici e poteva trasportare fino a 200 kg (440 lb) di bombe. Spesso

considerato un caccia formidabile. Nessun altro paese ebbe in servizio un intercettore d’alta quota veloce

come il MiG-3.

VQ WARBIRDS MIG-3 REVIEWFrom: www.rcwarbirds.com

In a world of ARF’s, you have no problem finding the common warbirds out there such as the P-

51, P-47, Corsair, Zero, and many others that seem to clutter the internet and magazines with

countless adds trying to get you to purchase them at the lowest cost possible! When VQ Models

decided to release their Mig-3, they took a leap of faith in selling a warbird that is not seen as

much yet still have the quality and affordability in order to entice those few modelers willing to

step out of the typical warbird spectrum and try something different. They succeeded!

I was really excited when Mike Kramer asked me if I would like to write a review on the VQ

Warbirds Mig-3. I have owned several of their warbirds and love both the quality and

affordability. It looks like VQ has added another feature to both by adding the retractable landing

gear with oleo struts! I knew as soon as I received the airplane, I was going to be immediately

excited to get started!

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box

was the overall quality of the plane. Everything

was separately wrapped and tucked neatly

where there was no damage during shipping.

All of the hardware was packed in its own

separate bag. After inventorying everything, I

was ready to get started.

The first thing I decided to start on was the

wing. I was curious to see how the oleo struts

would fit and operate with the retractable

landing gear. I was initially concerned they

would be too heavy for the retract servo and

that I would have an issue retracting and

extending them. When I pulled the wing out

and looked it over, I was really pleased with

the overall detail which included rivets, panel

lines, and even weathering. The supplied

retracts fit right in the retract well with just a

tad bit of carving with a hobby blade.

I usually install both gear and the pushrods

before I glue the wing together. After looking at

the manual, I was please to see that VQ

Warbirds made a small compartment in the wing

for the retract servo. This works out nice

because with the retract servo mounted deep in

the wing, there is no need for additional bending

of the pushrods to get them to attached to the

servo arms. This made the retract installation

quick and easy. The first time I turned it on, the

gear retracted and extended with no binding and

no other problems!

With the wing halves glued together and the retract servo mounted, installing the aileron servo

was very easy. You just mount the servo in the pre-selected location with the supplied servo

mount in and attached your pushrods! When it was time to start on the fuselage, I could really

see where the attention to detail was. Not only was everything nicely glued into place, looking

down the inside, I could see that there was no glue spillage nor were there any areas where you

could see they may have rushed the build. In so many times, ARFs seem to be rushed through a

factory and a lot of the attention gets lost during production. Not in this case.

Another important point to mention was the

fact that all of the plastic and fiberglass parts

such as the wing fairings and the cowl

matched the paint on the covering exactly! In

a lot of ARF models, how many times have

you pulled out the plane and noticed that

nothing really matched. VQ Warbirds made

sure that this particular plane would not have

that problem! Everything matched and looked

really nice on the plane.

All of the servo pushrod guides where

already installed in the plane as well! All you

had to do was install the pushrods and the

guides led them to the appropriate location so

you could hook in the elevators and the

rudder.www.p

Mounting the horizontal and vertical stab was very easy. You have to trim off the covering where

you are going to glue the stabs on. Install the stabs, make a small line with a pencil where the

stab meets the fuselage and pull the stabs back out. You can cut along those lines and pull off

the covering. This way you have a solid glue joint! Re-install the stabs and glue with some super

thin CA.

As stated before, simply push the pushrods through the guides and mount the servo

horns. Once those are mounted, All you have to do is screw in the supplied clevis and you are

done. Another really nice feature that VQ Warbirds added was the pushrod exit covers. These

little pre-painted plastic pieces really clean up where all the pushrods come out and help the

overall appearance!

Mounting the rest of the servos and

electronics were very easy. I followed the

instructions where each servo was to go and

installed the pushrods to the correct servo.

There was more than enough room for

everything and the pushrods lined up nicely with

no binding. I decided to mount my receiver on

the side of the fuselage with Velcro and run my

antenna wire down the inside. This way the

plane had a clean appearance. I used the

supplied fuel tank which fit in the specified

location with no problems.www.p

I decided to mount an O.S. 71 4 stroke.

There really wasn’t too much information on

how to mount the engine so this was really up

to me to figure out how to mount it right. I

lined up the center of the firewall with the

engine and test fit it a few times. When I was

happy, I cut the fiberglass cowl. I would find

out that this was a great engine choice!

After the major components were installed, I

mounted the wing and added the few extra

stickers and sat back to admire a wonderful little

plane. I couldn’t be happier with the turnout of

this true quality ARF from VQ Warbirds. I feel

that there attention to detail on this one scores

high on my scale. For a fun scale ARF, this

plane really looks good outside. I was very

impressed with the overall detail and weathering

that came right out of the box. Everything fit

really nicely with little or no adjustments. I was

overall, really happy with this plane.

The plane was balanced and control throws

were set as per the instructions. I did notice

that on takeoff the plane was a little tail heavy

but manageable. I can’t complement this

plane enough on the flight characteristics.

Slow speed (even tail heavy) was very

controllable and stalls were almost non-

existent. It can perform every aerobatic

maneuver in the book as well as fly very

scale. Landings were a breeze. I kept about

3 clicks above idle until I was ready to set

down and chopped the power, held elevator

and she settled down very nicely. This plane

flew great and would be a perfect intro level

warbird!

If you are in the market for a fast, quality, and

very reasonable priced warbird, I can assure

you that you won’t be disappointed with VQ

Warbirds Mig-3! This plane looks and performs

awesome in the air. I have had so many

complements at the field and have enjoyed

every flight so far. This plane makes a great

discussion piece and it is something different yet

looks very nice. So, if you are in the mood for a

good looking warbird that is not the typical P-51,

P-47 or corsair, I say, head over to VQ Warbirds

and pick up their awesome Mig-3!
